Nothing sounds good to me today. Blehhh. I need some inspiration!
Re: WFL?
I have leftover chicken parm with bowtie pasta that SIL made us for dinner last night.
sandwich, carrots, hummus.
I'm snacking on triscuits right now because I have to slowly cut down my calories rather than do it drastically, apparently.
Are you still breastfeeding? I love triscuits and hummus BTW....one of my favorite snacks!
Yep!
Why do you have to cut down your calories? I always thought breastfeeding used a ton of calories???? I am glad I am learning this now! ha ha ha.
Because my stomach is still so fat.
If one more person tells me "BF-ing is the best diet" I will punch them in the nose and break it.
It does burn about 500 cals a day but you have to eat to maintain supply. And DS eats. A lot. He ate over 30 oz of BM a day when I was in Boston last week.
The rest of my weight has come off, but my stomach is disgusting and I am feeling extremely down about myself as a result.
Punky, FWIW, you looked fantastic when I saw you. I meant to tell you that but forgot; honestly, I never would have guessed that you'd just had a baby if I didn't know. I didn't detect any kind of pouch.
I went to a new dumpling place in Chinatown with a friend. It was really good and the dumplings and noodle soup we had really hit the spot on a cold day.

As long as I'm dressed, I look great for having had a baby! LOL. It's the upcoming swimsuit season that is freaking me out. And DS starts swim lessons this summer and I can't exactly throw him into the pool by himself and sit on the sidelines.
I had a wicked gross microwaveable pizza. Blegh.

It's been a crappy day, so I had a fancy grilled cheese at Finale. And it was awesome.
Though I'm quite looking forward to the bottle of wine I plan on drinking for dinner.
Ha! I had a few days (or weeks...) like that!
Yesterday was the same as today:
Pinapple chobani, a mango, special k cracker chips (or whatever they're called), and a rice krispie treat? and a coffee....coworker and i ran to dunkin to get out of the building for a break
welcome to day two (yesterday) and day 3 of weight watchers.....LOL
Getting fit for IVF!
That sounds really good! I was never big on soup unless I'm sick (and then it's chicken noodle only), but recently, I can't seem to get enough. I hit up ABP like once a week now.
